Impact of alcohol control policy on hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke mortality rates in Lithuania: An interrupted time series analysis
This study aimed to test the impact of three major Lithuanian alcohol control policies implemented in 2008, 2017 and 2018 on sex- and stroke subtype-specific mortality rates, among individuals 15+ years-old. Joinpoint regression analyses were performed for each sex- and stroke subtype-specific group to identify timepoints corresponding with significant changes in mortality rate trends. To estimate the impact of each policy, interrupted time series analyses using a generalized additive mixed model were performed on monthly sex- and stroke subtype-specific age-standardized mortality rates from January 2001-December 2018.

Anxiety, Depression, Psychological Symptoms, Negative Effects, and Other Symptoms of Nicotine Withdrawal
This case occurred in a 33-year-old man who has been smoking for 19 years. He had a pattern of consuming 14 cigarettes per day with 30 mg of nicotine intake and high tar levels. The level of tolerance for consumption of nicotine and tar per day is 10 to 15 mg. High cigarette consumption correlates with high nicotine consumption as well. Excessive nicotine consumption over a long period can lead to lung cancer, stroke, heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and psychological disorders.

Hospital-based Buprenorphine/Naloxone Initiation in a Patient With Limited Communication Abilities: A Case Report
North America's opioid crisis highlights the profound need for low-barrier access to opioid agonist therapy (OAT) for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). This case describes a 33-year-old female with a history of opioid and stimulant use disorder admitted to hospital after a left middle cerebral artery ischemic stroke with resulting aphasia. After medical stabilization, she consented to buprenorphine/naloxone through limited verbal and written communication. After 14 days of titration, she was stabilized on 14 to 3.5 milligrams of buprenorphine/naloxone daily. Buprenorphine/naloxone initiation and titration is pati...

Cannabis use disorder and increased risk of arrhythmia-related hospitalization in young adults
CONCLUSION AND SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: With the growing legalization in the United States, there is an increased use of medicinal/recreational cannabis. This is the first national study to our knowledge that found that CUD is associated with a 47%-52% increased likelihood of arrhythmia hospitalization in the younger population and the risk of association was controlled for potential confounders including other substances. The fact that atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent arrhythmia is of special concern since it can result in stroke and other embolic events. Physicians need to familiarize themselves with cannabis ab...
